e-Safety+and+Fair+Use

Bullying, pornography, ethical issues, legal issues all fall into what I'm calling "e-safety." While you may be comfortable cruising the internet, not all families are equally comfortable. Not all students practice safe technology use. Depending upon the grade and content you teach, you will have differing responsibilities for teaching e-safety issues. All teachers will need to teach and enforce copyright and fair use rules. PE teachers are increasingly being asked to teach about internet safety including bullying. Music teachers as well as cheering/dance team coaches need to know what the rules are governing the use of music in public performances. All teachers need to be aware of what movies they can show. Just because you have seen it done doesn't mean it's legal.

 * Copyright and Fair Use **

> Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools.Our free, easy-to-use [|copyright licenses] provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “[|some rights reserved].”Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. [|They work alongside copyright] and enable you to modify your copyright terms to best suit your needs. > Example: 1) I typed in the following in the google search box -- ponies images creative commons attribution > 2) The text below the file name talks about attribution.3) To copy the actual photo click on the View Image button, that's the photo to copy, not the one you see in this thumbnail preview. > 4) To copy the actual web address, click the Visit Page button, use that address. If you see a horribly long address that has the word Google in it, you probably don't have the real address. > 5) Look on the website, it probably talks about Creative Commons Attribution, that tells you how it can be used. >

They write newspaper articles predicting the outcome of current disputes and anticipating disputes that they think may arise in the future with new technologies or new uses for existing technologies.

Just because a student can "google" doesn't mean they know how to effectively identify what to search for or evaluate what they have found. This skill is called Information Literacy. Polk Library has put together a variety of videos for you to explore this topic in more depth.

 * Not from Polk Library -- More on Searching:** One of the biggest neglected skills taught is how to search the Web effectively since “everyone knows how to use Google” (or insert another favorite search engine here). You can help your students (and teachers) by pointing them to resources like Google’s guide to search engine operators or their Advanced Search page. How to Geek provides similar tips for using Bing. Once you’ve mastered the basics, start learning about the “Deep Web” resources available, such as Open Source Internet Resources, the WWW Virtual Library catalog of Web resources, or Google’s DeeperWeb search engine. Your school community will soon learn they can yield far better search results if they do more than “just Google it."

 * Copyright Laws for YouTube**

Original works of authorship are protected by copyright law. Nevertheless, copyright laws are often violated on the Internet, because the number of copyright violations are often too great to be effectively enforced. If you upload copyrighted material, other than your own, to the YouTube website, you are violating copyright law and can be sanctioned by both YouTube and the federal authorities.

1 . What Copyright Law Protects Copyright law protects original works of authorship that have been recorded in a tangible medium, including works that have been recorded on video. Such works need not be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office to qualify for protection --- a work is considered copyrighted as soon as it is recorded. Images, sounds and words are all protected by copyright law. Copyright infringers are liable for civil and criminal penalties for copyright violations. 2 . Fair Use "Fair use" is an exception to copyright law. This exception allows anyone to use a small portion of a copyrighted work for a socially beneficial purpose, such as education, criticism or commentary. The fair use exception never applies to the public display of all or most of a copyrighted work. For example, if you upload a video of an entire copyrighted song to YouTube, your act does not fall within the fair use exception. The legal line between fair use and copyright infringement is blurry and depends on several factors, such as the portion of the copyrighted work used in relation to the total length of the work. 3 . The First Sale Exception The "first sale" exception to copyright law allows anyone to sell a secondhand copy of a copyrighted work without paying royalties to the author. For example, when you buy a book, author royalties are included in the sale price, and you may sell or give away the book to someone else without paying royalties. When you upload a video, however, you are making a copy of it rather than selling the originally purchased video. Since the original video is preserved, uploading a video does not fall within the first sale exception. 4 . YouTube Copyright Policy YouTube will not prevent you from uploading a copyrighted video. It will respond, however, to a complaint from the copyright holder. If a complaint is filed, YouTube will send you a copy of the complaint and allow you to respond. If the complaint is substantiated, your video will be removed. YouTube reserves the right to close the accounts of repeat infringers.
